In context thought, he explains:

"Ballmer: Robbie...well, I don't know. I think Robbie would be more likely
to say Apple probably than anything. Now if you ask Kevin Johnson (president
of Platforms and Services), he'd probably say Google. You ask (Servers and
Tools unit head) Bob Muglia, he'd probably say Linux or Oracle, maybe IBM.
If you ask Steve Elop (president of Microsoft's Business Division), who
replaces Jeff Raikes, I just think he would say Open Office, potentially
Google. And certainly Kevin Johnson (might add) Apple and Linux."

That is answering a different question!!!
The direct answer from the man in charge at micoshaft corporation:

Blammer: Open Linux is a threat to micoshaft!

So right now they are forced to use fraudsters and asstroturfers to slam
Linux and extend this practice to corridoors of power through
lobbying dumb politicians into a corner with fake grass roots
activision. These politicians need to hire lawyers and ensure
that what micoshaft supplies to them in facts and figures
are checked with the wider community; particularly the open source
community.
